boggart description: Monip
Known for their reputation as the ‘piggy’ boggart, they eat and hoard large amounts of food in dens where only they know of the location. This leads to them being often seen as greedy. Their sensitive nose is highly attuned and can sniff out things from miles away. Given their nature, they can come to acquire many things that smell unusual. As Monips hoard many things they find of interest and might not be able to eat, they are also open to trade from what they may have stored for something they may like in food.

Brownies: Training a Monip to be a true brownie is virtually impossible, as the stomach is too greedy and in a home environment it is likely to eat everything it likes the smell of.
